What if content management were 3D?

I recently saw the Michael Douglas/DemiÂ Moore 1994 movie calledÂ “Disclosure.” In the movie (which explores sexual harassment in the workplace), Michael Douglas was working for a computer company that created a 3D virtual reality database. The user wouldÂ put on special glasses andÂ he was literally inside the database with the data. He could walk inside a library of content, interact with it and touch it.

I had coffee this week withÂ Maria Korolov who writes extensively about virtual reality. During our conversation, I began thinking about what it would be like if someone designed a content management system in three dimensions. Think about how useful it would be to get all your company’s content laid out in front of you in a graphical view in which you could literally walk inside the system. How cool would that be?
